This is what I will suggest based on experience.

Let a painter who knows his job to do it for you and thereafter buy number plate cover. Something like light green cover to cover up the number plate, they will never see the error again.

Why r u bringing this delicate matter .
If your car body fade at some point, won't u repaint it again.
What kind of question is this.
So u want hard-working govt-neglected Nigerians to use minimum wage to buy another plate number for money-looting already-overfed govt official.

It just common sense na.

U should have asked your colleagues,
U will get answers.

My vehicle's number plates are about 6 years old and about faded. I intend taking to an artist for a makeover. To replace them through FRSC will cost about 25K naira while an artist will collect about 5K naira to do a decent job. My worry is if it's against the law.

The FRSC should be challenged on this...
The plates are of poor quality.

I had similar experience and I gave an artist to help me re- paint and trace the number. On my way to Akure I was stopped by the FRSC team at Ijebuode, they claimed the plate number was fake and I was booked. Nothing I didn't say to convince them but they were adamant. I told them they needed to commend me for making my plate number readable, it showed I was not a criminal, they never bulge. I even accused them for making a sub-standard plate number, they said I would have gone to buy another one. Eventually, I parted with 5k as fine!

If you are using lagos registration just input your car reg number into this site.

Even number plate violation is not 5k. It can't be said that you are driving with fake when it's linked to their site. FRSC offences and penalties are stated in the link below.

I know what I am saying Bro, I only cut the story short. There's no doubt about the originality of the plate number. The official booking was 3k plus, I was booked on Saturday and expected to go and pay on Monday and bring the receipt before I could collect my car. And one of them offered to assist me to pay but with a price, do you expect me to reject that offer?

RoyalBoutique:


You mean V.I.O?

9icetoo:


Here is what I did when in a similar situation.

Used a fine brush to make out the letterings in glossy blue colour. Took the plates to painter who coated it with clear coat.

Then I never accepted when stopped that it was my handwork. I always insisted that this was how they issued it to me.

aieromon:


Yes. The law states that faded plates should be replaced.

Whoever is responsible for printing these plates is doing a very poor job. These plates start fading into the second year of use.

McLizbae:
By replace, does it mean I will be given a new number, or my old number on a new plate?

aieromon:


You retain the old number on a brand new replacement plate.

Yes it is against the law. apply for change of name plate instead. Else when you're caught the will pay for it or they impound your vehicle.

worldman:
Reprinting of plate number from from is just 10k and its not illegal

Donedeal1:
Your number plates have expired, get it replaced asap.

Slurity:
You are a funny dude, have you ever seen a plate number, or any painting that doesn't fade under the same conditions your plate number is regularly exposed to? Even the colour of your car fades easily.
